Rhino Backbone

I'll take some measurements later this afternoon.
In normal with the maxtrax on the roof I'm <2.1m

My D3 from the floor to top of the platform is 1970mm at normal height and 1920mm in acess height

Hi guys
For my roof platform I used rhino tradie bars (3 of them) and had a local security door manufacturer make a "door" to fit less the insect mesh. Bolted it to the bars with 6 mm mush head screws into flat nuts which slide into roof racks
Works really well with light weight and a fraction of the cost of proprietary platforms only adds 25 mm to the height of the bars and gives lots of tie down points to the mesh (even came powder coated in black)

Sounds good. Any chance of some photos?

Have some here on the phone https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...016/12/503.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...016/12/504.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...016/12/505.jpg

Hopefully you will be able to see the rack also included a shot of drawers that I made folding solar panels fit under fridge

Can anyone with the backbone let me know how high it sits from the roof at the rear? I have a sunroof at the front and the DAB antenna at the rear. I reckon that I'll need 60mm to clear both items, but the backbone looks lower than that.

I'll throw up some measurements Monday if no ones beaten me to it

Lowest part of the platform to the roof is 50mm

Thanks Shane - really appreciate it. I had no luck finding specs online, and the guys at the shop didn't inspire confidence (they were more interested in how "mad" the backbone would look).

Which it does, of course, but mad looks won't necessarily make it fit.
